As long as you can keep it tight you'd be fine.  Make sure to shoot a couple dozen shots through it to test the impact effects before hunting out of it though.  My blind windows end up sending my arrow about 3" low at 40 yards consistently.  As long as you know what it will do and it is consistent, then you'll be fine.  Plus, that would make a nice portable blind; it'd weigh almost nothing.  What are you planning for a frame to stretch it over?
Bring a GPS!  It's awkward to have to eat your buddies!

I don't like the fact that the fabric effects most shots.  I think enough things can go wrong in the woods without adding another.

Actually the land I'm hunting on has a small ramshackle A frame on it and the elk walk past it so thoughts were to make this my blind. Another interesting note, in the pst couple days i've spotted brand new rubs. Any ideas on what those could b from. There was a herd of elk on the property with spikes and two points. I thought the elk would have shed their racks by now and would be growing new ones. There are also blacktail around but one of the rubs seems too tall.
